only eight? :S
Well of course you 'got wet'... there is this thing called 'saliva', you know... >_<
Anyway... my understanding of the situation is that you should start talking to her and learning more about her before you decide to 'commit' to anything. As it turns out... she's already raised the child past the 'worst' of it... so this could be the best chance you will ever have to enjoy all that is positive about raising children.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
